Virgil Ross - Grinch and Max Drawing (MGM, c. 1990s). An
outstanding drawing featuring a red-eyed Grinch and his dog
companion Max, inspired by the Chuck Jones animated TV holiday
special from 1966, Doctor Seuss' How the Grinch Stole
Christmas. This classic scene featuring the Grinch in his Santa
suit was drawn by master animator Virgil Ross. Mr. Ross worked in
animation for over 50 years, beginning in 1934; he spent many years
at Warner Brothers, where he worked in units headed by Tex Avery,
Robert Clampett, and Friz Freleng, as well as stints with
DePatie-Freleng, Hanna-Barbera, and Filmation (working on Star
Trek: The Animated Series and many others); he even assisted on
several Disney films like The Little Mermaid. The signed
drawing is on a sheet of 12 field animation paper; the Grinch has
an image size of 7". Fine condition.
